Statement by Assemblyman Jim Hayes
posted on 3/25/2008
For Immediate Release:
March 25, 2008
I am deeply grateful for all the support I have received from leaders, friends and my family as I considered the opportunity to compete to serve our nation and our community in Washington.
As I have said many times, my work in the Assembly, as the Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Committee and representing the people of Amherst and Niagara County, is both important and personally satisfying and, so today I am announcing that I will not be a candidate for Congress this year.
I believe I can best serve the people of our community by staying at my post in the Legislature at this critical juncture, and continuing the fight for lower taxes and for government and budget reform.
I am enthusiastic about the possibility of bringing real change to Albany and I look forward to continuing that fight in the State Assembly.
